I have made a grand install of all the cs on the list compiled in the forum. It is great because so many prefabs and parks that were created with them load without the hassle of having to find the correct cs for them.
I wish this thread could be sticky'd so that all can continuously see it, I don't know if I can do that, I think a moderator has to do that. I know some will say, just reply to the original thread of the cs with the error but some of those threads haven't been viewed by it's designer in months and I wanted the errors to show up in a very noticeable spot before the cs becomes so old, it just may not even be used by the designer themselves anymore.
I will continue to update this post with the latest results with different scenery
To These Designers: I love your scenery and I am so appreciative of it, could you test these, see if your getting the same errors and possibly put an update or rerelease up, thanks so much.
I believe that I have installed the following scenery correctly and this has been the outcome for me..

Scenery Tested/Installed: All scenery that was on this (http://www.rct-theme-world.de/rct-liste/complete-list.htm) compiled list as of 3/2/07:
First, if you see a combination of stars before any of the scenery, ie (*,**,***), please scroll down for it as new information may have been found on these installs, thanks.
The following scenery had to be removed cause a "no svc; in sid:" error was popping up and shutting down the game when the scenery was used.
* Disfan1's Tables & Blinds.. happens after the tables folder is opened, the adventure tables show up at the top and the game just freezes. I don't know what version the cs is but removing the folder fixes the problem.
* Disfan1's Haunted Mansion:
I just remember opening this folder and the game crashed with the error. This was one of the first I checked but im pretty sure it caused the error, I will recheck it again.
* PhiWies?? ok, I haven't figured out for sure, exactly what folder the error is culminating from, this cs comes up without icon images (as many others do but work fine) if not anywhere else, when creating an entrance in the scenario editor, upon clicking the icon the error occurs and the game crashes, also if the menu is opened (I think its the one with the dice on it, I use this terminology cause i'm so tired of reloading the game already, I don't want to load the entire game just to get the menu's name), just scrolling past the blank icon, i don't even think I clicked on it, it said Phiwie's something (cause the icon's blank) and the game freezes with the error again. I removed both fence packages from the game and it works fine now.
WSL_Spanish Roofing:
The first piece of cs I used in this folder caused the game to shutdown, I don't know that all of them will but I would imagine its likely, I will test it further.
The following cs causes the game to generate an error but gives the option to proceed (usually the game just stops but after, like, hitting the windows key, bringing up the desktop, then clicking on the game again shows the option saying either ok to continue or cancel, clicking ok will continue but I haven't even tried to use the cs involved.
So far only one pack of cs returns this conditional error...
* Max DC Walls:
An error comes up when the game is loaded initially (before the menu choices come up) and at about 60%. I would hit the window key to revert to the desktop then click on RCT3's to reopen it. Upon attempting to reopen it, I get some kind of vector error and an option to continue or not. I have not removed this cs from the game yet, I have been meaning to try it out and see if I can find more about it, what still works, what crashes but there is a problem with it.
New information about the errors found, updated here...
* just found that all the scenery above, except for the spanish roofing was tested ok using the original separate disks (rct3, soaked & wild) with no updates, please see post #17 for full details. It could be due to a bad download link which is why i am hoping these cs creators will see this post and give an updated link but I have tried it with gold/wild+all patches and with platinum+(told no patches needed), and they all don't work, in fact I have to remove them to prevent the game from crashing.
I have only started to work with all this scenery but so far (knock on wood) I have not yet run into any problems. What I would like to do is to continuously update this post with whatever pertainent results are found in hopes that I will eventually be able to update this post as "all cs running flawlessly".
Also, If anyone else has found errors please post your findings here, i'll probably test the same scenery too and i'll update this post but, unless the cs creator themselves indicates the install is no good, I will use terms like "may be causing" or "possibly causing".
I currently have RCT3 platinum (a compilation of RCT3, RCT3 soaked & RCT3 Wild for those who don't know what it is). I have tried this with different versions of RCT3 and have gotten the same errors, I had the original sparate packs at first, then had Gold with Wild, finally now Platinum (one full compilation with all patches included).
